Absolutely, Tom, that’s exactly what it’s made for. The # MXS67FR uses the standard 5 on 4-1/2inch bolt pattern, same as most 3,500-lb axles, and the tire’s 2,150-lb rating gives you plenty of capacity (x2 would be 4,300lbs tire/wheel capacity per 3,500lb axle - don't exceed lowest rated component). The aluminum Eagle wheel adds corrosion resistance and looks sharp.

Do you haul it long-distance or mostly around town?
